N’Golo Kante’s prospective £30m move from Leicester to Chelsea has prompted Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker to drop the C bomb.
Lineker – a Leicester fan only second in fame to Willie Thorne – tweeted on Friday night as it became clear that the French midfielder was heading to Stamford Bridge.
According to the Daily Telegraph: ‘Kante told Leicester City that he wanted to leave the Premier League champions and Chelsea were on Friday night putting the finishing touches to his arrival.’
Seems Kanté is going to join Conte, which is pretty cunty.

Lineker then took a few minutes to calm down and then tweeted:
Wish Kanté well and thank him dearly. He's the main reason Leicester won the title and will make a massive difference to Chelsea's chances.

The bad news for Leicester and Lineker is that Kante is unlikely to be the last out of the door, with The Guardian claiming that Riyad Mahrez has made up his mind to leave the club, with PSG and Arsenal among those clubs linked with the Premier League title winner.
